Richard Dorson (interview)
No full textThis interview is included in the American Folklore Society Oral History Project held at the Archive of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. In this item, Richard M. Dorson is interviewed by Richard Reuss at the American Folklore Society annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee for the American Folklore Society Oral History Project. Biography/History note: Richard M. Dorson, folklorist, author, and educator, was born in New York City in 1916 and died in 1981. He earned his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard University and taught at Harvard and Michigan State University before becoming professor of history and folklore at Indiana University where he founded its Folklore Institute in 1963 and became the first director and first chair of the Folklore Department at Indiana University in 1978. This collection consists of 1 sound tape reel (40 min.) : analog, 7 1/2 ips, 2 track, mono. ; 7 in. It was originally recorded on November 2, 1973 at the American Folklore Society annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee by Richard Reuss on a Sony audiocassette. This is a first-generation copy

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Naming and Understanding the Opposites of Desire: A Prehistory of Disgust 1598-1755.
Get PDFPhDIn the early 17th century, Aristotelian ideas about the passions came under scrutiny. The
dominant, if not only, understanding of the passions before that time came from Thomas
Aquinas. Aquinas split most of his main passions into opposing pairs – love/hate, joy/sorrow,
fear/bravery etc. Aquinas described the opposite of desire as ‘fuga seu abominatio (flight or
abomination).’ Although grappled with by earlier philosophers such as Duns Scotus and Thomas
Cajetan, it was not until the 17th century that thinkers attempted to challenge Aquinas’s opposite
of desire.
This thesis looks at five writers who used a variety of terms, often taken to be near-synonyms
of disgust in the historiography – Thomas Wright, Henry Carey, 2nd Earl of Monmouth,
Thomas Hobbes, Henry More and Isaac Watts – and challenges that view. Each of these men
wrote works that, at least in part, attempted to understand the passions and each had a different
understanding of Aquinas’s opposite of desire. The thesis uses a corpus analysis to investigate
uses of the words each thinker chose as an opposite of desire and then examines each writers’
influences, experiences, and intentions, to analyse their understanding of the opposite of desire.
Secondly, these various opposites of desire appear to bare a family resemblance to modern
disgust. All are based upon the action of moving away from something thought of as harmful or
evil, and all have an element of revulsion alongside the repulsion. This has led to much of the
historiography of these sorts of passions making the assumption that these words simply referred
to disgust. This thesis argues that these opposites of desire are not the same as disgust; the
differences outweigh the similarities.Wellcome Trus
